Du Nord Foundation

11/18/2025

The Du Nord Foundation is sunsetting and will be closed by year-end. We are proud of the work we accomplished in under five years with the help of our community including:

- the Recovery Fund, which provided emergency grants to over 70 small businesses

- the Barrier-free Food Shelf, which provided over 400 families with food every week

- two Krewe Du Nord Festivals, free festivals that were a big THANK YOU to our community.

It has been an honor and privilege to serve this community. Thank you to everyone who was involved from staff to volunteers to donors - we truly appreciate you!
